Maybury State Park

Maybury State Park is a public recreation area in Northville Township, Wayne County, Michigan composed of 944 acres (382 ha) of gently rolling terrain, open meadow, and mature forest. The park gives people in the nearby metropolitan area an opportunity to get involved in outdoor recreation activities in a state park setting. Lying adjacent to the park, Maybury Farm is operated as a separate facility by the Northville Community Foundation. History Before Maybury began operating as a state park, its woods and farm fields were the site of a tuberculosis sanatorium, named for the Detroit-area real estate investor William H. Maybury who had spearheaded its development. At its height, the campus had over 40 buildings, including infirmaries, residences, children's playgrounds, and a school. The facility was developed in response to rising rates of tuberculosis in the city of Detroit during the early 20th century, in the hopes of relieving Detroit's strained tuberculosis wards. Situated in the northwest corner of Wayne County, Maybury's location was thought suitably remote to allow abundant fresh air and quiet for patient recovery while also quarantining patients away from greater Detroit. Advancements in medicine resulted in significant drops in tuberculosis rates mid-century, leading to the facility's eventual closure in 1969. Most of the buildings were demolished before the land became Wayne County's first state park in 1975. Many of Maybury's paved walking trails are on former trails and roadways, although just three stone and brick doctors' residences remain today. Park headquarters operated out of a similar brick building along Beck Road. In 2020, a modern facility was constructed near the main entrance off Eight Mile Road. Park officials attempted to secure a tenant or a buyer for the former headquarters building but were unable to do so. As a result, it was deemed surplus and slated for demolition. Northville Township Fire Department was invited to use the facility and a former maintenance garage for training, which took place on April 13, 2023, after which demolition work was completed. In 2003 the DNR asked the Northville Community Foundation to take over the operations of the Maybury Farm, which had been closed in 2002. An agreement was reached and the farm reopened in September 2005. In February 2003, a fire destroyed the main barns, some of the farm's equipment and killed many of the farm's animals. A public fundraising campaign led to the rebuilding of the farm including moving 125-year-old barns from a nearby town. Activities and amenities The state park offers pond fishing, picnicking, playgrounds, stables, and many miles of trails for hiking, biking, cross-country skiing, and equestrian use. Maybury Farm provides educational programming, sheep shearing, hay rides, corn maze, and other public farming demonstrations.

McGregor Memorial Conference Center

The McGregor Memorial Conference Center is a meeting and event facility on the campus of Wayne State University in Midtown Detroit, Michigan, designed by noted American architect Minoru Yamasaki (1912–1986) and completed in 1958. The design marks a shift in style from Yamasaki's earlier International Style work to the New Formalism of his later years. The building was designated a National Historic Landmark for its architectural quality in 2015. History The McGregor Memorial Conference Center was funded by the McGregor Fund, as a memorial to Tracy W. and Katherine McGregor who initiated the fund in 1925. The McGregor Fund specified that the building be used as "a community conference center for groups of citizens interested in exploring ways and means of being helpful to others." To that end, Wayne State University hired architect Minoru Yamasaki in August 1955 to design the building. The commission came after Yamasaki's long convalescence and subsequent trip to Japan, and was his first opportunity to put into practice his re-envisionment of architecture. The center was completed in 1958, and opened to immediate accolades from architectural magazines who called it "delightful" and "refreshing," and from the American Institute of Architects who awarded Yamasaki a First Honor Award for the design. Over the next seven years, Yamasaki designed three more buildings for Wayne's campus: the Education Building, Prentis Hall, and DeRoy Auditorium. Description The McGregor Memorial Conference Center is a two-story symmetrical pavilion covered with travertine marble. It sits on a podium faced with Mankato stone, with integral reflecting pool and sunken garden wrapping around the building on two sides. The building exhibits a triangular design motif on the outside and inside. Inside, a skylit entry hall, dividing the interior space in two, is flanked by two levels of conference rooms. The McGregor Center contains 11 meeting rooms, a 600-seat auditorium, a 2,500 sq ft (230 m2) reception area, and a 3,500 sq ft (330 m2) exhibit space. The conference rooms can be combined to accommodate groups of various sizes. Interior design features white marble floors, red carpeting, and black leather chairs by Mies van der Rohe.

McLaren Flint is a subsidiary of McLaren Health Care Corporation. McLaren Northern Michigan received a 5-star rating from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services in 2023, recognizing its high-quality facilities and services. History McLaren Flint originated in 1919 as Women's Hospital, a 10-room maternity hospital at 808 Harrison Street, focusing on care for women and children. It was founded by Dr. Lucy Elliott and nurse Lillian Girard. By mid-1920, Women's Hospital needed more space and moved to a remodeled house on six acres at 1900 Lapeer Street in Flint, opening in June 1923 with 29 rooms. Margaret McLaren became Superintendent of Women's Hospital in 1924, serving for over 30 years. In 1925, a new North wing was added, increasing the capacity to 40 rooms. The hospital received accreditation from the American College of Surgeons and the American Medical Society in 1928. After raising $2.5 million from the community in the 1940s, the new 203-bed McLaren General Hospital was dedicated on September 12, 1951, at 401 S. Ballenger Highway in Flint. The hospital was renamed McLaren Regional Medical Center in 1990 after completing a new patient care tower. In the following decades, McLaren expanded by acquiring hospitals in Lapeer, Bay City, Mount Clemens, and Lansing, forming the McLaren Health Care Corporation. The hospital's name was shortened to McLaren Flint in 2012 to reflect its association with other McLaren hospitals. References External links Official website
Mears State Park

Charles Mears State Park is a public recreation area in the village of Pentwater, Oceana County, Michigan. The state park encompasses 50 acres (20 ha) on the north side of the channel that connects Lake Michigan and Pentwater Lake. History Mears State Park was among 13 parks established in 1920 following the creation of the Michigan State Parks Commission a year earlier. The park land, which was once owned by lumber baron Charles Mears, was donated to the state by his daughter Carrie Mears. The park originally comprised only 16 acres "strictly made up of lake sand." In 1921, the vegetation that held the sand in place was disturbed during a grading process, resulting in a loss of sand to the winds, much to the annoyance of neighboring dwellers. To cure the man-made problem, five tons of marsh hay were "evenly distributed and disked in." A toilet and fireplaces were also constructed. Activities and amenities In addition to fishing, swimming, camping, and picnicking, the park offers a one-mile (1.6 km) hiking trail that ascends the Old Baldy sand dune. The park also includes the Pentwater North Pierhead Light, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

It is within the Melvindale-Northern Allen Park School District and it also serves northern portions of Allen Park. History Melvindale High School was first built as a one-room school house in 1882. In 1923, the second room for this school house was added on. Since the population of the surrounding area grew, many bonds were granted to the district and Quandt School (MHS's former name) was finally established by 1927. Now, there are four schools within the district: Melvindale High School (9-12), Strong Middle School (6-8), Allendale Elementary (2-5), and Rogers Early Elementary (K-1). In a period prior to 1950, Melvindale was one of the schools serving high school students from the Allen Park School District. That year, Allen Park High School opened. At the beginning of the 2023-2024 school year, Melvindale High School moved into the old Baker College campus in Allen Park located at 4500 Enterprise Dr., Allen Park, MI 48101.

Mendota (Bete Grise) Light

The Mendota Light, also known as the Bete Grise light, was built on the Keweenaw Peninsula of Michigan to facilitate travel between Lake Superior and Lac La Belle (an artificial canal having been made to connect the two). History The original plans were laid in 1867 and the lighthouse was constructed in 1869. Only one year later, the light was decommissioned as it was found by navigators to be of no assistance (nor was there any other commercial reason to make this trip). The tower was removed and taken to Marquette, but the keeper's house remained in place. In 1892, ships tried to use this bay for a safe harbor during a storm, and the seafarers, observing the house (at this point deserted), suggested that the harbor would be easier to find if there was a light present. By 1895, funds had been allocated to re-establish the light, but it was determined that the existing structure had deteriorated so much that it could not be used. A new structure was built using the original foundations. In 1933 the light was automated and in 1956 it was decommissioned. It was a private residence until 1996. The lighthouse, only accessible by boat since no roads or private drives lead to it, was for sale in 1996. It was sold to a person willing to conserve the light. The original fourth order Fresnel lens was found, restored and in 1998 relit. It is still in place and in use. Efforts are being made to maintain the light for the "next 100 years". The light is now classified as an active private aid to navigation. To view the light, travel to the Keweenaw Peninsula of Upper Michigan to the town of Bete Grise. The road ends at the Mendota Ship Canal. Take the short walk to the Ship Canal. You will see the station boathouse across the Canal, and the Mendota Light itself a little to the east.

Phare de Mendota

Le phare de Mendota (en anglais : Mendota Light), est un phare du lac Supérieur situé sur la pointe de la péninsule de Keweenaw pour marquer le canal menant au Lac La Belle, dans le Comté de Keweenaw, Michigan. Ce phare est inscrit au Registre national des lieux historiques depuis le 29 août 1980 sous le n° 80004840. Historique Les plans originaux ont été posés en 1867 et le phare a été construit en 1869. Un an plus tard, la lumière a été mise hors service car les navigateurs ont constaté qu'elle n'était d'aucune aide. La tour a été enlevée et emmenée à Marquette, mais la maison du gardien est restée en place. En 1892, des navires ont essayé d'utiliser cette baie pour se mettre à l'abri pendant une tempête, et les marins, observant la maison déserte, ont suggéré que le port serait plus facile à trouver s'il y avait de la lumière. En 1895, des fonds avaient été alloués pour rétablir la lumière, mais il a été déterminé que la structure existante s'était tellement détériorée qu'elle ne pouvait plus être utilisée. Une nouvelle structure a été construite en utilisant les fondations d'origine. En 1933, la lumière a été automatisée et en 1956, elle a été mise hors service. C'était une résidence privée jusqu'en 1996. Le phare, uniquement accessible par bateau car aucune route ni route privée n'y mène, était à vendre en 1996. Il a été vendu à une personne désireuse de conserver la lumière. La lentille de Fresnel du quatrième ordre d'origine a été retrouvée, restaurée et remise en place en 1998. Depuis cette date la lumière est en activité. Le phare de Mendota est désormais classé comme une aide à la navigation privée active. Description Le phare est une tour carrée en brique de 11 m de haut, avec une galerie et une lanterne, s'élevant d'une maison de gardien en brique de deux étages. Le phare est peint en blanc, avec des garnitures noires, et le toit de la lanterne est rouge. Il émet, à une hauteur focale de 13 m, un éclat blanc par période de 20 secondes. Sa portée est de 14 milles nautiques (environ 26 km). Identifiant : ARLHS : USA-489 ; USCG : 7-15151 .

Menominee County Courthouse

The Menominee County Courthouse is a government building located on Tenth Avenue between Eighth and Tenth Streets in Menominee, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975 and designated a Michigan State Historic Site in 1974. History Menominee County was created in 1863, and included at the time the land that now covers Menominee, Iron, and Dickinson Counties. The county seat was established in Menominee, and a clerk's office and jail were quickly built. In 1874, county residents decided to build a courthouse, and bonds were sold to fund the construction. A new plot of land in Menominee was found and purchased for the courthouse, and Chicago architect Gurdon P. Randall was hired to design the new building. Contractors Cummings and Hagan were hired to build the courthouse, and construction began in 1874. The building was completed in 1875 at a cost of $29,680. The building originally housed a jail on the first floor, county offices on the second floor, and the courtroom on the third floor. Additions to the building were completed in 1909 and 1938. The original connected jail and sheriff's residence were demolished later in the 20th century, but the courthouse itself was renovated in the early 1980s. Description The Menominee County Courthouse is a three-story Classical Revival building constructed of red brick, sitting on a rock-faced ashlar basement. The exterior walls are load-bearing, while the interior walls, floors, and roof are constructed of wood. Additional reinforcing of concrete and steel has been added during renovations. The building is ornamented with stone quoins and beltcourses separating the two upper stories. A hip roof with a belfry and wooden cupola tops the courthouse. The building has four symmetrical facades, each with slightly projected pavilions topped by triangular pediments. The entrance facade has a projecting foyer which was added to the building at a later date. The original structure measured 48 feet (15 m) by 60 feet (18 m), giving about 9000 square feet of space. with a jail and sheriff's residence connected to the main building. The 1909 construction added a 16 feet (4.9 m) by 20 feet (6.1 m) entryway, and a more substantial addition was added to the building in 1938. With additions, the current courthouse houses 20,000 square feet of space. References External links Menominee County official page: courthouse history
